This is my first semester in this program, however, I was working as a tutor at MxCC for about 1 year teaching students how to use technologies and the computer. Also working in the Educational Technology and Distance Learning as an ETA at MCC, I am often barraged with questions on numerous topics that are in my comfort zone in the realm of computers and technology field. I also need to talk/send emails to IT about the VDIs and the various technologies we have at the College. I do think I would be suited for this Eagle position, however, I am still relatively new to Educational Technology.
